The only acceptable use of generative AI is to get the shit posts out faster

I think it's a great use, but not only.

Resume building, cover letters, aggregating open text responses, summarizing complex texts, and so on.

While the AI can't be left alone to do these things and if you do it'll be clear it's AI but it can reduce the time to do them significantly.

I firmly believe this is like the age of the computer before it. Those who fail to become AI natives in knowledge work will become under employed or unemployed in 10-15 years.

So I encourage you to make an excuse to learn it and get good at it.
